Peak Pac NJ Music is a great place for Kids Music. With Live and Virtual Lessons, they had us covered regardless of our busy schedule. We highly recommend their Piano Division but we are also hearing great things about the Guitar and Vocal coaches as well.

My daughter is so happy taking dance classes here. She was very nervous at another dance school and never seemed to adapt. While they were lovely the class she was in wasn’t the right fit. She asked to try dance again, so I searched for a studio with acro on Saturday to ensure I could bring her.

Your first ballet class at PEAK Performing Arts Center

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
